Hi!
I sent this simple patch to lkml about two weeks ago and also cc'ed
to Linus, but seems that the patch got ignored. I decided to write to
you, because you have modified the relevant file most recently.
Below is a copy of the mail that is also available at

The reboot_fixups stuff seems to be a bit of a mess, specifically the
header is in linux/ when its a purely i386-specific piece of code. I'm
not sure why it has its config option; its only currently needed for
"geode-gx1/cs5530a", so perhaps whatever config option controls that
hardware should enable this?

The kernel only supports gcc 3.2+ now so it doesn't make sense
anymore to explicitely check for options this compiler version
already has.
This actually fixes a bug. The -mprefered-stack-boundary check
never worked because gcc rightly complains
CC arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s
cc1: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 is not between 4 and 12
We just never saw the error because of cc-options.
I changed it to 4 to actually work.
Tested by compiling i386 and x86-64 defconfig with gcc 3.2.
Should speed up the build time a tiny bit and improve
stack usage on i386 slightly.

Hello,
This patch against 2.6.20-git14 makes the NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1
instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0 on processors supporting Intel architectural
perfmon, such as Intel Core 2. Although all PMU events can work on
both counters, the Precise Event-Based Sampling (PEBS) requires that the
event be in PERFCTR0 to work correctly (see section 18.14.4.1 in the
IA32 SDM Vol 3b). This versions has 3 chunks compared to previous where
we had missed on check.
Changelog:
- make the x86-64 NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1 instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0
on processors supporting the Intel architectural perfmon (e.g. Core 2 Duo).
This allows PEBS to work when the NMI watchdog is active.

pit_latch_buggy was referred in timers/timer_tsc.c, and currently removed.
Therefore nobody refer it.
Until 2.6.17, MediaGX's TSC works correctly. after 2.6.18, warned "TSC

Synchronize i386's smp_send_stop() with x86-64's in only try-locking
the call lock to prevent deadlocks when called from panic().
In both version, disable interrupts before clearing the CPU off the
online map to eliminate races with IRQ handlers inspecting this map.
Also in both versions, save/restore interrupts rather than disabling/
enabling them.
On x86-64, eliminate one function used here by folding it into its
single caller, convert to static, and rename for consistency with i386
(lkcd may like this).

Remove clustered APIC mode. There's little point in the use of clustered APIC
mode, broadcasting is limited to within the cluster only, and chipsets have
bugs in this area as well. So default to physical APIC mode when the CPU
count is large, and default to logical APIC mode when the CPU count is 8 or
smaller.
(this patch only removes the use of genapic_cluster and cleans up the
resulting genapic.c file - removal of all remaining traces of clustered
mode will be done by another patch.)

Fix a couple of inconsistencies/problems I found while reviewing the x86_64
genapic code (when I was chasing mysterious eth0 timeouts that would only
trigger if CPU_HOTPLUG is enabled):
- AMD systems defaulted to the slower flat-physical mode instead
of the flat-logical mode. The only restriction on AMD systems
is that they should not use clustered APIC mode.
- removed the CPU hotplug hacks, switching the default for small
systems back from phys-flat to logical-flat. The switching to logical
flat mode on small systems fixed sporadic ethernet driver timeouts i
was getting on a dual-core Athlon64 system:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Transmit timeout, status 0c 0005 c07f media 80.
eth0: Tx queue start entry 32 dirty entry 28.
eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 0008a04a. (queue head)
eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is 0008a04a.
eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is 0008a04a.
eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 0008a04a.
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xC5E1
- The use of '<= 8' was a bug by itself (the valid APIC ids
for logical flat mode go from 0 to 7, not 0 to 8). The new logic
is to use logical flat mode on both AMD and Intel systems, and
to only switch to physical mode when logical mode cannot be used.
If CPU hotplug is racy wrt. APIC shutdown then CPU hotplug needs
fixing, not the whole IRQ system be made inconsistent and slowed
down.
- minor cleanups: simplified some code constructs
build & booted on a couple of AMD and Intel SMP systems.

Almost all users of pm_ops only support mem sleep, don't check in .valid and
don't reject any others in .prepare so users can be confused if they check
/sys/power/state, especially when new states are added (these would then
result in s-t-r although they're supposed to be something different).
This patch implements a generic pm_valid_only_mem function that is then
exported for users and puts it to use in almost all existing pm_ops.

This patch series cleans up some misconceptions about pm_ops. Some users of
the pm_ops structure attempt to use it to stop the user from entering suspend
to disk, this, however, is not possible since the user can always use
"shutdown" in /sys/power/disk and then the pm_ops are never invoked. Also,
platforms that don't support suspend to disk simply should not allow
configuring SOFTWARE_SUSPEND (read the help text on it, it only selects
suspend to disk and nothing else, all the other stuff depends on PM).
The pm_ops structure is actually intended to provide a way to enter
platform-defined sleep states (currently supported states are "standby" and
"mem" (suspend to ram)) and additionally (if SOFTWARE_SUSPEND is configured)
allows a platform to support a platform specific way to enter low-power mode
once everything has been saved to disk. This is currently only used by ACPI
(S4).
This patch:
The pm_ops.pm_disk_mode is used in totally bogus ways since nobody really
seems to understand what it actually does.
This patch clarifies the pm_disk_mode description.
It also removes all the arm and sh users that think they can veto suspend to
disk via pm_ops; not so since the user can always do echo shutdown >
/sys/power/disk, they need to find a better way involving Kconfig or such.
ACPI is the only user left with a non-zero pm_disk_mode.
The patch also sets the default mode to shutdown again, but when a new pm_ops
is registered its pm_disk_mode is selected as default, that way the default
stays for ACPI where it is apparently required.
